Hi,

I just implemented a blog using the iFrame plugin. It worked perfectly. The only thing I'd like to change is the size of the window that the blog appears in. If you view it here: http://www.adndm.com/index.php?/projects/blog/, you'll notice that the blog is in a very small window, i'd like to try and have the blog appear the size of the page. How would I go about doing this?

Thanks,

set height: 100%; for #menu. It should fix it.

Can I have an iphrame, and have my menu be set at 270 by 520? I don't want to change dimensions of #menu. please advise

my blog

*I have also installed the full background plugin on a different page and i think that might be interfering with the iphrame as it was almost working before.

thanks!

Take out the full background plugin and see what happens. You are getting some js errors but I can't quite see what's wrong (quickly).

Ok, Vaska,
I took out references to the full background plugin in the index.php, but kept the same css.

here is what it looks like now.

also as an aside,
if i get rid of my css entirely and start fresh, the iphrame works (but I lose the #menu styling)

Ok, I see what's wrong now. You have broken some cardinal rules in your customization - namely the height of things. In Useful Threads you can find a post about proper styling of padding and margin...you should read this.

You will likely need to either work your changes out or start over and work things back in from this template set.

so i was having a frame problem with mine, where the blog scroll bar was showing up because of the size of the blog inside the iframe.. i tried setting my height (and width) to 100% but only got a super tiny box w/ scroll bars..

now its set to     

// get width of #content
    frame_x = $('#content').width();
    // get height of #menu
    frame_y = $('#menu').height();
    

and its the only way i can get it to show full, except there is an unecessary scroll bar about 200px away from the left side of the browser.. what gives?
